Redskins score high at games After taking a shower and putting on her new, tight jeans, Sally Miller, se- nior, excitedly drove her 1980 silver Malibu to the local arcade, Games People Play. It was a usual Friday night; the a cade was full of young people fired up and ready to challenge their skills. Sally recognized a fellow Manualite, senior Scott Evans, who also enjoyed playing the games. Sally and Scott had a hard time choosing which game to play first. So they just started at opposite ends of the line and worked their way around the large room. As the clock ticked toward midnight, it was time to leave, but only with plan of returning sometime soon to prove the superiority of man over machine. WOW, LOOK AT THAT! amazed at his high sc Scott Evans WACKA, WACKA . Pac Man can be found UP, DOWN, ALL AROUND . . . Senior Scott in many locations throughout Indianapolis.

Redskin warpath leads to Homecoming victory This was it! The night had finally arrived that everyone had been waiting and planning for — Homecoming. Activities started at the beginning of the the week to fire up the Redskins and get them ready for the big game on Friday. The freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors participated in the annual sign contest; each class trying to outdo the other in the number of signs and posters they made to decorate the halls. However, it was the class of ' 85 that won the poster contest this year and was awarded the distinction of having the most spirit. Not only was there a sign contest to determine the most spirited class, there was also a contest to determine which Manualite had made the best poster. Sophomore James Bayer received first place for his artwork, with junior Lisa Rivera receiving second place, and ju- nior John Chestnut, third. The pep session was held Thursday, October 7 during a 3A-3B aud in a final attempt to fire up the team. The pep session proved to be exciting, with the main attraction being a special appear- ance from the Howe cheerleaders. Final preparations for the game were made Friday after school with SAB decorating the field, and the Publica- tions office filling helium balloons that were released at halftime. Also, mums were picked up by the students late Friday afternoon. Manual defeated the Howe Hornets with an impressive score of 46-25, giving the ' Skins their first Home- coming victory in five years. In this action-filled game, senior Cam Dixon rushed for 2 13 yards on 23 carries, including touchdown runs of 63 and 53 yards. Senior Mike Ray and senior Jerry Johnson also added to the Red- skin score to push them on to a win. Highlighting the football game were the halftime festivities. Among these festivities, the most exciting was the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen. The candidates anxiously awaited to hear who would be the reigning royalty; senior Anthony Mina and senior Arlene Johnson received this honor. As the new king and queen stepped forward, the band playing fan- fare, they were crowned by last year ' s king, Rex Soladine, and queen, Dawn Morse. Another festivity that was involved in the halftime ceremony was the parading of floats around the track. The floats that decorated the field were sponsored by SAB, DECA, FCA, Art Club, Masoma, and the traditional spirit truck spon- sored by the cheerleaders. Although some clubs didn ' t sponsor floats, they made large banners which were dis- played at the field. To top off the night, there was a dance, sponsored by the Key Club and Masoma, held in the cafeteria. Activi- ties Director, Miss Joyce Simmons, summed it all up, I was extremely pleased with the halftime ceremonies, as well as with the behavior of the students at the dance. This is the best Homecoming we ' ve had in years. TAKE THAT YOU PESKY BUG! . . . This float, sponsored by DECA, was one of the many that were displayed at the Homecoming. AND THEY ' RE OFF . . .
